For the most authentic cable knit texture, use a thicker 3D sculpting gel and build up the pattern gradually, curing each small section immediately to prevent flattening and ensure crisp lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this Cable Knit Red & White Stripes with Gold design typically last?
With professional application of gel products and proper aftercare, this design can last beautifully for 2-3 weeks.
Can I get this intricate cable knit design on shorter nails?
Yes, it is possible on shorter nails, but the intricate cable knit pattern may need to be simplified or scaled down to fit the smaller nail surface.
Is the 3D cable knit comfortable to wear in daily life?
While textured, the 3D cable knit is designed to be comfortable and durable for daily wear. It's carefully sculpted to be smooth enough not to snag.
Can I substitute regular polish for the gel products needed for this design?
The 3D cable knit effect and the longevity of the design are best achieved with gel products. Regular polish won't provide the same texture or durability.
Will the gold accents lose their sparkle over time?
Properly applied and encapsulated gold glitter or foil, sealed with a good top coat, should maintain its sparkle throughout the entire wear period.
Is this design suitable for non-Christmas winter events?
While very Christmas-centric, its cozy winter aesthetic makes it suitable for any festive or themed winter event beyond just Christmas, like winter markets or themed parties.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Apply cuticle oil regularly to nourish nails and the skin around the detailed art, especially after showering.
- ✓Be gentle with your hands and nails to preserve the intricate 3D cable knit and prevent snagging.
- ✓Schedule a professional soak-off for removal to prevent damage to your natural nails and ensure proper technique.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal, paying extra attention to the 3D texture areas.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton wraps or nail clips for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off softened gel with an orange wood stick; re-soak if necessary rather than forcing.
